I was reminded recently by fellow North Seattleite @Laocoön that we need some more art history hot takes around here. The first artist that stands out to me as a personal favorite is Pieter Brugel the Elder, particularly the Harvesters which is at the Met Museum of Art in NYC. Never ceases to amaze me the level of detail this guy was getting back in the 1500s.

I’m game for some hawt art talk, but asking me favorite painter of all time is like asking you Mr. @YellowSnow your favorite band. Might be a more fruitful discussion if you narrow it down by era, region, etc.
Bruegel Sr. did have some great paintings. I loved “Peasants Dance”:
“Peasants Wedding” is great too:
If you like Dutch/Flemish genre painters, check out Jan Steen:

You can pick several famous painters if you like.
My AP Euro teacher in HS was a big Flemish masters guy. Took us to the Rubens museum in Antwerp on our first stop on HS Euro trip. -
Impressionists: Less is more, more is less
Mark Rothko (mid century) pieces
Matisse a favorite of Nazi fat-ass, Herman Goering who hijacked scores of fine paintings from European Jews.

I honestly can’t even pick even a few favorites, but I’ll try:
Hans Holbein is the GOAT of portraitists in my opinion, even if his Anne of Cleves commission got him in hot water with his patron, Henry VIII:
Mr. Chiaroscuro himself, Caravaggio. I love how his work is like a well lit theater scene.
Edward Hopper - remember seeing “Chop Suey” when it was at the SAM - super pissed when they didn’t get to keep it.
